This undergraduate thesis examines the social well-being of abandoned children living in two homes, Padre Pio and Field of Dreams, in Davao City, Philippines. A survey was conducted with 60 abandoned children to assess their levels of happiness, cognition, satisfaction, engagement, optimism, perseverance, empathy, pro-social behavior, and self-esteem. The results found that the children had high social well-being, indicating they were well cared for. Female children reported higher social well-being than males. Children who had lived in the homes for 4-6 years also reported higher well-being than those with shorter stays. The study aims to provide a basis for interventions to support the social welfare of abandoned children.

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to provide analysis and monitoring on the social well-
being of abandoned children in Padre Pio and Field of Dreams to serve as a
basis for intervention. The researchers employed a descriptive survey method
and a survey questionnaire was used in data collection. The questionnaire was
divided into nine (9) parts. The first part was the level of happiness, the second
part was the level of cognitive, the third part was the level of satisfaction, the forth
part was the level of engagement, the fifth part was the level of optimism, the
sixth part was the level of perseverance, the seventh part was the level of
empathy, the eighth part was the level of pro-social, and the last part was the
level of self-esteem of the abandoned children. The questionaire used in the
study was validated by the research coordinator. Mean and Standard Deviation
were used to analyze the data. Sixty (60) abandoned children from Padre Pio
and Field of Dreams served as the respondents of this study. Results revealed
that the social well-being of the abandoned children had a very high efficiency of
social welfare which means that they were genuinely taken good care by their
respective agencies.
Moreover, the female abandoned children had a high social well-being because
they were socially interactive and had a higher attendance of participation
compared to the male respondents. Furthermore, the abandoned children staying
at Padre Pio and Field of Dreams for 4 to 6 years had a high level of social well-
being compared to those who were pure "social contract" with their houseparent
and social worker. Further research in the area is needed for a more complete
understanding of the levels of social well-being of the abandoned children in
Padre Pio and Field of Dreams in Davao City.
